It's been a few years since we migrated our site to Drupal, but I recently ran into some websites that were referencing our old directory structure. I thought URL Aliases would take care of this, but it had unexpected results. Read More
Adding a hit counter (page views) for Drupal nodes is easy, but allowing it to track a View is more difficult. Especially when the link you are tracking goes to another view.

We have been experiencing intermittent Drupal White Screen of Death's
when using the Search Module. At first, we thought it was multiple
search terms that were causing this. But, even single term searches
would fail. It seems that it depended on the word being search, but I
couldn't make a correlation.
I looked in error_log and it was showing a 500 error. php.log was
showing "PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare mymail() (previously
declared..."
I renamed the function, but I got the same error again for the new function name.
I created a bash script that would take a filename from the command line, then output the file with a .jpg extension.

ffmpeg -i video.flv -an -ss 00:00:03 -an -r 1 -vframes 1 -y %d.jpg
But, the one given in the comment by Philippe Maegerman did (-minus the .exe part):
ffmpeg.exe -i stream_1146848749371.flv -y -f singlejpeg -ss 0.001 -vframes 1 -an test.jpg

The SRSS software creates some directory and files in the /tmp filesystem. RedHat Linux has a cron job cleaning up /tmp daily. After a few days some of the files from SRSS were removed, causing the problem. This can be solved by adding "-x /tmp/SUNWut" to /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch
CCD (image sensor) failures, particularly in conditions of high heat
and humidity, led to cameras capturing images with either no picture at
all, or with extreme distortion and severe purple or green color casts.
